I-Need-A-Lift is a platform to facilitate the process of offering lifts and taking lifts between public transport and private users. For public transport, one can register their trip, indication how many passengers (15) they want for the trip, e.g. from East London, South Africa to Bloemfontein, South Africa, indicating the amount required. For private users, the number will be limited to the number of seats available e.g. 3. A traveller can then browse available lifts and 'book' a lift. To register, your mobile number (including country code) e.g. +27 is required including your personal details e.g. first name and last name. For I.C.E (In Case of Emergency) purposes, you also register a N.O.K (Next of Kin) who you can keep posted of your where abouts and sent a Panic Alert should you feel threatened / unsafe or in case of an accident. Sending an ICE sends your exact GPS coordinates to your N.O.K.
